The 29-year-old from Kambalwadi village near Kolhapur in Maharashtra has been competing in international events since 2012, but he had to wait another 12 years to make his Olympics debut at the Paris Games. Being calm and patient are pre-requisites for a shooter and those two traits are also the hallmark of <keyword id="19896463" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Dhoni" source="keywords">Dhoni</keyword>'s personality. It is therefore no surprise that Kusale relates to Dhoni's life story. He has watched the biopic of the World Cup winner multiple times and hopes to match the lofty achievements of the champion cricketer. A top-three finish in the 50m rifle three positions final here on Thursday would certainly put Kusale in the list of high achieves in Indian sport. "I don't follow anyone specific in the shooting world. Outside of that, I admire Dhoni for the person that he is. My sport requires me to be as calm and patient as he is on the field. I also relate to his story as I am a ticket collector like he was," Kusale told PTI shortly after finishing seventh in a tightly contest qualification here. Kusale has been working for <keyword id="21895115" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Central-Railways" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Central Railways" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Central Railways">Central Railways</keyword> since 2015. His two rivals from Czech Republic also shot 590 but the Indian had the most inner 10s -- 38 -- compared to Jiri Privratsky and Petr Nymbursky, who sealed the eighth and last qualification spot. He also doesn't have to look too far beyond home for inspiration. His father and brother are teachers in a district school while mother is the sarpanch of Kambalwadi village. The fancied Aishwary Pratap Tomar ended 11th with a total of 589 in a session topped by China's Liu Yukun. Kusale did not know about his classification in the final until his coach told him that. He shot 197 in prone, 195 in standing and as much in kneeling. "Every shot is a new shot. I was just trying to be patient. The whole match I had the same mindset. Just shoot with patience. At the back of the mind, you are thinking about your scores but it is better if you don't," said Kusale. The job is half done in his debut Games and Kusale is fully aware of that. <keyword id="20241095" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="manu-bhaker" source="keywords">Manu Bhaker</keyword>'s unprecedented two medals here has also provided an extra dose of motivation. "It has been a great experience so far. I love shooting and I am glad that I have been able to do it for so long. Seeing Manu do well gives us a lot of confidence. If she can do it, we can do it too," said Kusale. National coach Manoj Kumar Ohlyan was tracking Kusale's progress from a distance and he is bullish about his chances in the final. "He is in a good frame of mind. We are hoping for the best. We just want him to perform the way he did today. He was patient. He is good technically and physically," added Ohlyan.

Dhoni, who holds the honorary rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Indian Army, decided to pay tribute to the army by wearing an insignia on his gloves during the India vs South Africa match. However, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has told the Board of Control for Cricket in India to have the insignia removed from Dhoni’s gloves. “It is against the regulations and we have requested it is removed,” Claire Furlong, ICC General Manager – Strategic Communications told <a href="https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket-world-cup/world-cup-2019-icc-army-insignia-dhoni-gloves-5768753/">PTI.</a> Dhoni, on his gloves, was wearing the regimental dagger insignia of the Para Special Forces. The ICC’s decision to remove the gloves has become a point of argument on Indian social media. Indian fans who had first praised the cricketer for showing his love for the Indian army at the international sports platform, then went on to support him and protested against the ICC’s decision. However, some have spoken up about respecting the rules of the game. Indian footballer Baichung Bhutia too has <a href="https://www.news18.com/news/sports/ditch-the-army-insignia-glove-and-respect-the-sport-baichung-bhutias-advice-to-ms-dhoni-2175709.html">reportedly</a> said that Dhoni should remove the gloves to respect the rules and regulations. The BCCI though has reached out to support Dhoni and will reportedly appeal to the ICC to let the cricketer keep the gloves for the World Cup matches.

Here’s why everyone is talking about Indian cricketer MS Dhoni’s gloves

Former Indian skipper M S Dhoni has filed a complaint alleging that his three mobile phones were stolen during the recent fire at a hotel here, according to PTI. 
 
Dhoni, along with his Jharkhand crickteam, had on Friday escaped unhurt after the fire broke out at a five star hotel in Dwarka. 
 
Police said they have received a complaint from the cricketer, who stated that he had left his phones in the hotel room when he had gone for breakfast downstairs, on March 17. 
 
Later, when his staff went to pack his things, the mobile phones were missing from the room, they said. 
 
We have registered a case in this regard at Dwarka south police station, they said, adding a couple of persons have been detained in the case.

MS Dhoni’s mobile phone stolen!

At 11.30 pm on Saturday, June 29, 2024, entire India erupted with joy as the South African allrounder Anrich Nortje mistimed the final delivery for a single. Just seven months ago, on November 19, 2023, India had suffered an heart-wrenching loss against Australia at Ahmedabad despite being the most-dominant team on ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023. Today was the much-needed redemption for every cricket fanatic in the country! <keyword id="4169" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="team-india" source="Orion">Team India</keyword> clinched their second <keyword id="19921630" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="T20-World-Cup" source="keywords">T20 World Cup</keyword> on Saturday by defeating <keyword id="19899437" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="South-Africa" source="keywords">South Africa</keyword> in an emotion-filled final, ending an 11-year global trophy drought. <keyword id="19907934" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Virat-Kohli" source="keywords">Virat Kohli</keyword>’s 76 runs and key bowling performances by Arshdeep Singh and Jasprit Bumrah helped India secure the victory by seven runs Unfortunately for South Africa, their late-stage chocking at major tournaments continued as the team faltered in the crucial stages of the match despite being ahead in the game for over three quarters of the second innings. India's win brought back memories of their first T20 World Cup in 2007 under MS Dhoni and marked their first global victory since the 2013 <keyword id="20400927" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Champions" source="keywords">Champions</keyword> Trophy. Kohli anchored the first innings with a steady 76 off 59 balls, enabling India to reach a competitive total of 176 for seven. Key partnerships, particularly with Axar Patel, steadied India’s innings after early setbacks. South Africa, playing in their first World Cup final, fought back with Heinrich Klaasen’s 52 off 27 balls, but Indian bowlers managed to control the game’s final moments. Hardik Pandya’s crucial dismissal of Klaasen in the 17th over swayed the momentum back to India. <h3>Historic clash opens emotional floodgates</h3> The T20I World Cup 2024 finals was not just any other international outing. It marked the end of an era for the Indian cricket team, as it marked the end of T20I career for the two legendary batters, <keyword id="13937" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rohit-sharma" source="Orion">Rohit Sharma</keyword> and Virat Kohli. Both players fought tears as they hugged teammates, spoke with broadcasters, and wrapped the Indian flag proudly around them. Equally emotional was Rahul Dravid, India’s coach, who could celebrate a World Cup win in his last assignment. Commentators remarked that such fervent celebration from the usually composed Dravid underline the weight of this victory for team India. Rohit Sharma, India’s captain, finally had his moment after previous near-misses in World Cup finals. He said, "No better time to say goodbye to this format. I've loved every moment of this. This is what I wanted - I wanted to win the cup." Virat Kohli also echoed similar sentiments as he said, “It’s time for the next generation to take over. It was an open secret and I would have announced it even if we had lost.” <div type="image" title="&amp;quot;No better time to say goodbye to this format&amp;quot;: Rohit Sharma joins Virat Kohli in biding farewell to T20I" agency="ANI" msid="111372338" hostid="261" sizebytes="26210" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;quot;No better time to say goodbye to this format&amp;quot;: Rohit Sharma joins Virat Kohli in biding farewell to T20I&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Hardik Pandya, who had a struggling six months on both personal and professional fronts, defended 16 runs in the last over. With Klaasen's dismissal and sealing India’s triumph in the last over, he could not hold back his tears as teammates celebrated with joy. But the final moments were also marked by contrasting emotions. David Miller's shot in the last over was caught by Suryakumar Yadav, dashing South Africa’s hopes and cementing India’s win. The South African dug out displayed despair and agony as the momentum turned swiftly towards India during the final overs. "Gutted for the time being. It'll take some time for us to have a really good reflection on a really good campaign the group had. Obviously, for the time being, like I mentioned, it hurts quite a bit. Having said that, I'm incredibly proud of this group of players and everyone involved with the team," SA skipper Aiden Markram said in the post-match presentation. <h3>Cricketers and celebrities hail the team’s performance</h3> Taking to X soon after India's victory in Barbados, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the cricketers have won the hearts of crores of Indians. <div type="twitter" handle="narendramodi" handlename="narendramodi" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1807114429667975428"></div> “Congratulations Team India on becoming the T20 World Champions. Been the best team in the tournament remaining unbeaten throughout,” VVS Laxman, head of the National Cricket Academy, wrote on social media. Ravichandran Ashwin expressed his joy, and Anil Kumble said, “Congratulations team India! Wonderful victory.” Other cricketing legends, including Harbhajan Singh and Yuvraj Singh, as well as Gautam Gambhir and Sachin Tendulkar, extended their congratulations, with Yuvraj praising all key players. Former India captain and BCCI president Sourav Ganguly remarked on the relief of winning a World Cup after 13 years and praised Bumrah, Kohli, Axar, and Hardik for their roles. "From all the Indians back home and everywhere in the world a big thank you for bringing the World Cup Home. CONGRATULATIONS!" said former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. President Droupadi Murmu praised the team’s never-say-die spirit, saying, “My heartiest congratulations to Team India for winning the T20 World Cup... It was an extraordinary victory in the final match.” Rahul Gandhi also said that team India will miss Rahul Dravid, and praised the team’s efforts, particularly mentioning Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma, and the coach. Large crowds celebrated nationwide, with firecrackers and street celebrations as celebrities expressing joy and pride for the victory. Union Minister Amit Shah applauded the team’s “unmatched team spirit and sportsmanship,” while Defence Minister Rajnath Singh highlighted the motivational impact of the victory on upcoming sportspersons. Other Union Ministers, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, and tech leaders like Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Google CEO Sundar Pichai added their congratulations. Bollywood actors also joined in celebrations, reflecting a nation elated by India’s return to global cricketing supremacy. US Ambassador to India, Eric Garcetti, congratulated the team, underlining the widespread resonance of India's win. Overall, India's T20 World Cup victory in Bridgetown against South Africa marked a significant chapter in Indian cricket. With the 11-year wait over, India’s star-studded team celebrated a hard-fought victory, signaling a triumphant return to global dominance in cricket. (With inputs from PTI and ANI)

Emotional rollercoaster: Team India's historic T20I World Cup win marks a golden chapter in Indian cricket

A few years back, after a promotional event at a five-star hotel in New Delhi, <keyword id="19914485" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Gautam-Gambhir" source="keywords">Gautam Gambhir</keyword> was seen smiling in the foyer — an unusual sight. A couple of journalists approached him. Known for being a non-conformist, he was in the midst of a cold war with the then officials of the Delhi and District <keyword id="19919646" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="cricket" source="keywords">Cricket</keyword> Association (DDCA). "You know why I don't fear anyone in this establishment? Because I am not here to earn money," he told the journalists, writes Kushan Sarkar, a special correspondent with Press Trust of India (PTI). <h2>Gambhir named new <keyword id="20147279" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="head-coach" source="keywords">head coach</keyword></h2> On Tuesday, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) named Gautam Gambhir as head coach of the Indian cricket team. The former opener fills gigantic shoes of the legendary Indian Mr Dependable batsman <keyword id="19923639" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rahul-Dravid" source="keywords">Rahul Dravid</keyword>, and is tasked with building on the latter's success in the recent T20 World Cup. "I have always taken pride while donning the Indian jersey during my playing days, and it is going to be no different when I take up this new role," said the 42-year-old Gambhir in a statement. <div type="image" title="Gautam Gambhir becomes new head coach of Indian men&amp;#39;s cricket team" agency="ANI" msid="111615122" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Gautam Gambhir becomes new head coach of Indian men&amp;#39;s cricket team&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> BCCI secretary Jay Shah announced that Gautam Gambhir has been unanimously appointed as the head coach. Gambhir, who scored over 10,000 international runs in his 13-year career, will travel to Sri Lanka with the team for his first assignment in late July. Iconic Indian batters Rohit Sharma and <keyword id="19907934" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Virat-Kohli" source="keywords">Virat Kohli</keyword> have been rested for the white ball ODI series against the Lankans. Shah praised Gambhir as a "fierce competitor and a brilliant strategist" and expressed confidence in his ability to elevate the team's performance. "We believe he will bring the same tenacity and leadership to his role as head coach," Shah said. "He will bring out the best in our players." <h2>A new journey for the former MP</h2> Gambhir played a crucial role in India's 2011 ODI World Cup win and recently led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to an <keyword id="19906063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="IPL" source="keywords">IPL</keyword> title. His extensive experience in various capacities throughout his career makes him an ideal candidate for the coaching job, according to Shah. After retiring as a player, Gambhir ventured into commentary and politics, becoming a lawmaker for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) before quitting politics in March to rejoin KKR as a mentor. BCCI president Roger Binny hailed Gambhir's appointment as marking a "new chapter for Indian cricket," emphasizing his "experience, dedication, and vision for the game." "India is my identity and serving my country has been the greatest privilege of my life. I'm honoured to be back, albeit wearing a different hat. But my goal is the same as it has always been, to make every Indian proud. The men in blue shoulder the dreams of 1.4 billion Indians and I will do everything in my power to make these dreams come true!," said Gambhir in a post on 'X'. <h2>Controversial journey of the new coach</h2> As Gambhir steps into this challenging role, his outspoken and often controversial personality will be scrutinized against Dravid's calm approach. Coming from Central Delhi's Old Rajinder Nagar — a hub for Civil Services aspirants — Gambhir never found things easy in Indian cricket. Perhaps this is why intensity became his second nature, as he had to constantly prove himself, writes Kushan Sarkar. As Delhi's skipper, he once refused to attend practice for days until Ajay Jadeja, the team coach accused of match-fixing, resigned. His remarks have often been portrayed to have reflected his belief that Mahendra Singh Dhoni gets undue credit for a single six in the 2011 World Cup final. His altercation with India's star player Virat Kohli during IPL matches (RCB Vs KKR in 2013 and RCB Vs LSG in 2023) also received widespread traction. Despite such — often controversial — actions, he is well-respected across the Indian cricket fraternity for his unflinching commitment and loyalty to his team. With the T20 World Cup win in Barbados last month, Indian cricket team gave wings to the dreams of billions of Indian cricket fans. But the win also came as a bittersweet surprise, with multiple senior players announcing their retirement — marking the end of an era in the country's cricket history. As Gambhir takes the steering wheel as the new head coach one can only wish that the journey — with all its ups and downs — turns out to a successful one for both him, and the team! <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="111370557" title="Emotional rollercoaster: Team India&amp;#39;s historic T20I World Cup win marks a golden chapter in Indian cricket" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"><payload><![CDATA[seealso]]></payload></div> <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="111395294" title="Jay Shah confirms Team India&amp;#39;s new head coach will join from Sri Lanka series" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"><payload><![CDATA[seealso]]></payload></div>

'Mr Intense' Gautam Gambhir succeeds 'Mr Dependable' as Indian men's cricket team's head coach

Colombo, <keyword id="2064892" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ishan-kishan" source="Orion">Ishan Kishan</keyword> is a compelling package - a hard-hitting left-hander who can bat anywhere from top to No. 5 and a capable presence behind the wickets. It was a natural ascension for <keyword id="282" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="kishan" source="Orion">Kishan</keyword> when he was included in India's World Cup squad as the second wicketkeeper batsman behind <keyword id="6355454" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="kl-rahul" source="Orion">KL Rahul</keyword>. However, his journey to the top has not always been a rosy one. Kishan had to shift from Patna to Ranchi in search of better cricketing facilities. "He is a fighter from a very young age, and was clear in his career as a cricketer. His practice nets (SAIL grounds) were very close to MS Dhoni's house, and he always wanted to follow Mahi bhai's footsteps, and keeps watching his videos. "Luckily for him the JSCA Stadium, where they have turf wickets, was opened in 2013, and it helped him a lot to develop his game," said Monu Kumar, the Jharkhand pacer and a close friend of Kishan. It is easy to mistake Kishan for a clone of Dhoni - a destructive batter who keeps wickets, and both of them come from the same state. But there is more to Kishan than being a mere Dhoni progeny. Former India stumper Kiran More, who has worked with Kishan since 2018 at the NCA as well as at the Mumbai Indians, shared more details about the many contours of his ward's game. "He is a natural at everything he does. I was at the NCA for a wicketkeepers' camp and Kishan had others like <keyword id="956633" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="sanju-samson" source="Orion">Sanju Samson</keyword> in his batch. Kishan was so athletic and he had such soft hands even at that age," More told PTI. More said he did not have to tweak Kishan's game much, and just had to make some minor corrections. "He came with a naturally good game. I had to tell him a bit about his head and squatting positions. We also worked a bit on his ball collection and a few other minor techniques. "Later, we worked on the same things a bit more during my time at the Mumbai Indians. What stands out is his ability to adapt and willingness to learn," said More. Those abilities came to the fore when he was asked to bat at No. 5, a first in his nascent career, during the Asia Cup match against Pakistan last week here at Pallekele. Kishan fully exploited the opportunity handed to him making a fluent 82 off 81 balls. More was pleased to see the development of Kishan as a genuine wicket-keeper batter. "Yes, I am sure he will make an impact for India. He is a long-term player and you will not get such players very often. "Kishan being a left-hander will add more variety to the Indian batting order, you know that left-right combination...a dream for any team management," said More. Kishan's knock against Pakistan was all the more important because it came against a top-class bowling unit and India were struggling at 66 for 4 at one stage. Kishan's innings offered little surprise to Mumbai Indians assistant batting coach and former Karnataka batter J Arunkumar. "Many times, we only see one side of his (Kishan's) batting because he is such a fabulous hitter of the ball. But there is more to his batting than that eye-catching shot-making. "He is calm and collected under any situation. That mature head is his biggest asset," said Arunkumar. More agreed to the point. "Yes! He still has a long way to go. But he gives India a brilliant option, and Kishan is quite handy at any batting slot. "Now, we have four excellent wicketkeeper batters - Pant, Rahul, Kishan and Samson. It is a good thing to have this kind of pool of quality players," he added.

The <keyword id="6354756" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="bcci" source="Orion">BCCI</keyword> is planning a massive renovation of at least five major stadiums, with an estimated cost of over Rs 500 crore, ahead of the ODI <keyword id="22177" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="world-cup" source="Orion">World Cup</keyword> in October-November in <keyword id="3658" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="india" source="Orion">India</keyword>. The game has attracted huge money over the past 10 years, making BCCI, the richest board in the world, richer. However, the stoic fan, who has made the game what it has become, is often deprived of basic facilities at most venues around the country. During the India-Australia Test series in February-March, fans had vented their ire over the lack of clean toilets at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in <keyword id="66" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="delhi" source="Orion">Delhi</keyword>. It is not surprising that Delhi is among the five venues which underwent a gap assessment from the BCCI. A gap assessment outlines the existing gaps between the current and ideal future state of an organisation. As per the list accessed by PTI, the other venues are Hyderabad, Kolkata, <keyword id="13178" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="mohali" source="Orion">Mohali</keyword> and Mumbai. The Wankhede in Mumbai had undergone renovation before the India-Australia ODIs last month after a fan complained of poor sanitary conditions at the famous stadium. Even if one doesn't factor in the cost of roof renovation, which is not a possibility at least in Delhi due to structural flaws at the venue, the costs are huge. It will cost Rs 100 crore to revamp the Delhi stadium, Rs 117.17 crore for Hyderabad, Rs 127.47 crore for the iconic Eden Gardens at Kolkata, Rs 79.46 crore for the ageing PCA stadium in Mohali and Rs 78.82 crore for Wankhede. The costs increase drastically if roof work is involved. Mohali, though, is not a World Cup venue this year. The renovation work includes landscape work, interior work, development of media centre (in Delhi and Kolkata), setting up of digital and entertainment kiosks, upgradation of stadium chairs (foldable) and light fixtures, and wifi-system installation apart from developing stadium Apps. The renovation work also includes toilet renovation with waterproofing and lighting. Twelve venues have been shortlisted to host World Cup games and they include Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Dharamsala, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Lucknow, Indore, Rajkot, Mumbai and Ahmedabad, the likely venue for the final. A total of 48 games will be played in the 46-day ICC event. India last hosted the ODI World Cup in 2011 when the Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led team lifted the trophy.
